Takao WahoTakao Waho received the B. S., M. S., and Ph. D. degrees in Physics from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, in 1973, 1975 and 1978. In 1975, he joined Musashino Electrical Communications Laboratories, Nippon Tele- gram and Telephone Public Corporation now NTT), where he investigated III-V compound semiconductor device technology, including MBE growth, GaAs surface passivation, resonant-tunneling diodes (RTDs), and their circuit applications. He was also involved in Josephson tunnel-junction IC tech- nology from 1978 to 1983. Since 1999, he has been a Professor of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Sophia University, Tokyo. His current research interest includes CMOS analog integrated circuits, such as analog- to-digital converters, delta-sigma modulators, and multi-valued logic circuits, as well as nanostructure semiconductor devices. He received the Distinctive Contribution Paper Award and Certificate of Appreciation from the IEEE Computer Society in 1996 and 2009, respectively. Dr. Waho served as Editor of the IEICE Transactions on Electronics (Japanese Edition) and as Technical Committee Chairs of IEICE Electron Devices and IEEE Computer Society Multiple-Valued Logic. He also served as General Chairs of the Topical Workshop on Heterostructure Micro- electronics (TWHM) held in Nagano, Japan, in August 2011 and of the IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL) held in Toyama, Japan, in May 2013.
